- You and I know from the radio and the radio never lies
- Just the smell of the summer can make me fall in love
- Moats and boats and waterfalls, alley ways and payphone calls
- I’m an American aquarium drinker / I said a ghost is born
- I don’t know where I’m going, but I know where I’m coming from.
- Just like a paperback novel, the kind the drugstores sell
- In twenty-seven years, a drank fifty thousand beers

- If I don’t die or worse, I’m gonna need a nap.
- On a thousand islands in the sea I see a thousand people just like me
- Wednesday morning, we sleep over and we’re late again
- They’re tearing up streets again, They’re building a new hotel-
- One thing about me is you probably never noticed me before
- Sugar dumpling muffin baby, this world is going crazy…
- I saw her dancing, dancing in some old smokey place.
